Howdy econ dev friends!

Welcome to the "make you a smarter economic developer" newsletter!  Thanks for spending a few minutes with us this morning.

In the last week, two economic developers told me that they send content from this newsletter to their board members, and it makes them look good!

This week we have 37 stories, graphics, charts, and videos that I think you'll find informative, useful, inspiring, and perhaps even humorous.  Some are economic development related directly, some only indirectly.

As always, if you find something great, please send it to me.

- Dane
